Composers often work in relative isolation, without a chance to discuss their work with others, or to re-examine the principles that guide their creativity. The Composers Workshop offers the opportunity to work with Alice Parker and a small non-judgmental group of colleagues, score reading, analyzing, discussing techniques, and posing questions about the many different facets of their profession. The focus is on setting texts and writing for voices, through daily assignments and discussions.
